What I'd like to know is how you accept these numbers from other 
providers other then in good faith.

So far there is only 2 ways a large number of blocks would be acceptably 
entered into the e164.org zone, if you were assured and in the CAcert 
system, which is similar to the PGP web of trust, but official rules on 
face to face meetings, this gives us a MUCH better paper trail, also 
would act as a deterrent for those wanting to abuse less restricted 
systems with only a fax being sent in...

The only other method I can think of that I'd be happy with would be 
some kind of statement signed by the police that the document presented 
to them looked authentic, not fool proof but again, again this presents 
hoops to jump through to reduce abuse...

Other then that I'm at a complete loss at how to accept large chunks of 
numbers other then in good faith...
